Pankaj Tripathi speaks about his film Shakeela

The upcoming film Shakeela is a biopic of South Indian adult film actress Shakeela Begum.  Richa  Chaddha will be seen playing the title role in the film and actor Pankaj Tripathi will also be seen in a pivotal role. The actor has opened up on the film and says that the story of the fim is complex yet important.

The trailer of the movie is quite intriguing and has generated curiosity among audience. “It is a compelling story, told truthfully. It is great to know that people have received the trailer with an amazing response. I had a great time essaying the role and it was something that I haven’t tried or done before. This story will surely entertain people but will also make them think of the double standard we have pertaining certain characters who have been wrongly boxed into being someone, without knowing their real-life story,” said Pankaj Tripathi.

Shakeela also features Ester Noronha, Rajeev Pillai and Sheeva Rana. The movie will be premiering in cinemas on the 25^th of December this year.
